This is my blog to share about my life including 5 kids ranging in age from 20 to year. It is also a resource(I hope) for learning to save money and live within your means.
The second purpose for this blog has emerged as this year has changed our lives in all aspects. I want to share openly about our lives so that someone else can benefit or recognize God's love and purpose. Selfishly, I will print at the end of each year for a record to share with the kids.

Detailed CVS post

I am going to do a detailed post on my trip to CVS today. It is a beginner transaction that anyone who uses diapers or wipes can repeat this week as well. I had not planned on buying diaper but the body wash ECB printed out together as one 8 instead of two 4ECBs.

I did start out with 3ECB from the Pantene deal that is also running this week. But I did 2 transactions today.First Transaction: 2 Gillette body washes on sale for $4.00 each. Used BOGO coupon from 5/2 PG and 2 ECB. Total OOP 2.62 and earned 9ECB (8 for Body wash and 1 for 4th time using Green bag tag)

This made by total OOP $3.79 and my saving $31 or 91% . Now just to be fair I am adding my trip from Sunday because I would have done a similar transaction if they would have not been out of the body washes already. My total OOP at CVS for the week is $23 with a savings of $47 or 67%. Prior to couponing, I would have spent $23 on the two packs of diapers on sale and a large pack of wipes. So I am still REALLY pleased with my trip. In fact Amanda and I may go tomorrow and use her card for body wash just as a money maker!
